Back at the engagement party, things are winding down. Mickey and his bride-to-be are escorting the guests out to the parking lot. In a brief moment of tension, we are shown that Taarzan hasn't made it back to the event as of yet. Raj and Priya helpfully keep their backs to the empty parking spot until the last second, when Taarzan rolls into his spot. With that bit of stress aside, it's time to check in with D'Costa.
D'Costa
and Jojo are seated outside, hearing the latest news from Khurana. Khurana
mentions that Inspector Sharma has been killed, and the connections are starting
to fall into place. All of the recently murdered people were former associates
of D'Costa's, so they feel he has reason to be alarmed. They offer him police
protection, and strongly suggest that he take them up on the offer.
This
leads to several minutes of comedy material involving Jojo and D'Costa. Some of
it is actually pretty funny, but it might be a little tedious for me to describe
how they spend the next few minutes of screen time panicking and chasing each
other around the house. The image to the left here is a good example of the
routine, so just have a look at that for about four minutes and we're nearly
there!
The chase scene ends with D'Costa implying that Jojo was not much brighter
than a donkey. Jojo is weary of such malicious epithets, so he sets out to prove
his worth by intercepting the killer before he can reach D'Costa. The next day
finds Jojo with a Jeep load of cohorts waiting outside the college campus where
they have tracked Taarzan. Jojo calls in an anonymous tip to Raj that D'Costa
will be taking a trip to a nearby city soon, and would be vulnerable to an
attack. Raj doesn't know what he's talking about, but the ever vigilant Taarzan
is within hearing dist
ance
of Jojo's Jeep, and makes a mental note (if a car can do such a thing). As Jojo
explains the rest of his cunning plan to his friends - that being they will
follow Raj as he moves to kill D'Costa and eliminate him before he completes his
task - Taarzan pulls out from behind them and makes his way to the highway
unnoticed.
We cut to the open road where D'Costa is congratulating himself on making it out of town unscathed. Jojo calls him to tell him of his plan. D'Costa notices a few tactical errors in Jojo's reasoning, and angrily disconnects. He spots some thatched huts not too far from the road, and decides he will spend the night in one until the threat blows over.
As
he approaches the huts, one of them begins to shake back and forth, then
actually begins to slide along the ground towards him! D'Costa hightails it back
to his car and speeds off down the road with the hut in hot pursuit. The hut is
not large enough to cover the tail end of Taarzan sticking out of the back, but
this goes unnoticed by the terror-stricken D'Costa.
Somehow Taarzan throws the hut on to the top of D'Costa's car. After some careful braking the hut is dislodged, and the proper chase begins. Once more for emphasis, we have the victim noticing that there is no one driving the deadly purple car, and he freaks out. He does manage to maneuver Taarzan into striking a light post and buys himself a little time.
Back at the campus, Jojo notices that Raj and Priya are coming out of the buildings. They all crouch down behind his Jeep to watch them head out. Raj notices that Taarzan is not in the parking lot, and worries that if something happens again he will be blamed for it. Priya says she will drive him to the police station so he can file a report and hopefully avoid blame. Jojo sees them head out, and hops back into the Jeep. In his excitement, he drives off before his buddies can get in, but this fact goes unnoticed for quite some time.
Back
at the chase, D'Costa is forced off the road near a little rest stop area. After
a few threatening advances, D'Costa seems doomed. However, a small boy playing
with a beach ball wanders between D'Costa and Taarzan, forcing Taarzan to halt
his advance. D'Costa notices that Taarzan won't hurt the boy, so he picks him up
to use as a human shield. Up until now, D'Costa had been more of a comic relief
character, but this officially elevates him to human slime status.
Taarzan backs up and pulls out of the lot, so D'Costa drops the kid and runs for the phone booth.
